We have more information on an accident that unfolded in Nashville at the Harding Place exit on I-24 Wednesday. Evidently, the man who was driving the 1996 Freightliner tanker truck that overturned was from Murfreesboro.

Authorities say the preliminary investigation shows that 24-year old Andrew Harbin was traveling east on I-24 in the tanker truck when he entered the exit ramp to Harding Place and failed to slow the vehicle which left the roadway, crossing all lanes of Harding Place before striking a tree and rolling down an embankment into a motel parking lot.
